June 26—There are four major international summit meetings underway in the last week in June, which in large measure summarize the options facing the planet at this time. The BRICS Summit, hosted by China, concluded on June 24, presenting one view of the future—a future based on development and cooperation to solve the grave economic and strategic crises facing humanity. That was followed by the EU summit; then the ongoing G7 summit in Germany; and finally, the NATO meeting scheduled for June 28-30 in Madrid—these three all dead-set on perpetuating a bankrupt and war-provoking system centered in the City of London and Wall Street.
